    Helen Mary Walker (1 December 1891 in Keosauqua, Iowa – 15 January 1983 in Teaneck, New Jersey) was a statistician and prominent educational researcher, and the first female president of the American Statistical Association when she was elected in 1944. From 1949 to 1950, she was also president of the American Educational Research Association and served on the Young Women's Christian Association from 1936 to 1950. She taught at many universities throughout the US and in Japan, Chile, and Mexico. At Columbia University Teachers College, her alma mater, she was a lecturer in statistics beginning in 1925. She rose through professional ranks, and eventually served as Full Professor of Education from 1940 to 1957. Walker was awarded the title of Professor Emerita on her retirement in 1957. In her honor, Columbia offered the "Helen M. Walker Scholarship Fund in Statistics" in 2012 to students who were pursuing graduate studies and planning to teach statistics. (Source: DBPedia)
